Why were some people so sure about *Spoilers* death?

Spoilers for season 3 finale and all of season 4 just incase. I also avoided giving his name in the title just to be safe. Any way.

I been reading past topics on this forum for a while now, and I seen some members on this forum openly stating Splinter will be killed off again by Shredder when the turtles return to Earth to stop the Triceratons. Even when we were giving gif's of Earth's Last Stand of Splinter preventing Shredder from stabbing his chest, some people here still thought he had a chance to die again in that episode.

I wonder why would the writers purposely kill off Splinter again after all the trouble the Turtles went through to prevent the Triceratons from destroying Earth, and prevent his death?

Now I can see an argument where he might die in a future episode. Maybe in another one on one fight with Shredder where Shredder doesn't get the drop on him like he did in Annihilation: Earth. You know a fairer fight. Sure that'll make more sense. But to kill off Splinter now after all that trouble the Turtles went through in space?

Plus who would teach them ninjutsu? Who'll prepare them to fight against Shredder and his minions? I think someone mentioned Leo taking over as a possibility, but he's still inexperienced compared to Master Splinter and Shredder. I just don't see them killing Splinter off like that. Especially when he's one of the central characters on the show.

So yeah my question is basically is this. To those who thought Splinter will die for good in Earth's Last Stand, what made you so sure?
